♪ ♪ >> brian: fox news alert, new overnight former president donald trump through his support behind congressman jim jordan as house speaker with the speaker vote. trump saying jordan will be a great speaker of the house and has my complete and total endorsement. his congressional colleague has majority leader steve scalise who would also like the job. he is running and he joins us from his office on capitol hill. steve, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: it is good to have you as well. there donald trump call you and say hey sorry about this time, i'm going with j.j.? >> we spoke obviously pure a lot of friendships in this race. a lot of folks talking about other folks on the outside to bring into this race. there is a lot of interest in the race. at the end of the day, a lot of one-on-one conversations over the last few days i have been having with my colleagues. and a lot of introspection how to get things back on track, the

problems internally don't go away with a new speaker. but the real westerners though my questions members have how do we get this back on track? and a strong support over the last few days is i've got a long proven record and unified republican to fight the battles that matter to the families who gave us the majority. they want us to not fight over security and spinning control of inflation and things we came here to do. we have to get on track doing. that is the conversations we've been having these last few days. we will continue having. we have to get this resolved soon. it will get resolved the new york conference but we have to fight for those families struggling because that is what the real fight is about. >> steve: you talk about getting the car back on the rails. on a scale of 1 to 10 how screwed up our things right now? from what i have seen, it is total civil war. >> you know, there is a lot. there is a lot of frustration. we have to work through that, but steve, we started this year

and a wink with a small majority, everything we do would be a challenge. speaker mccarthy came in late on real changes that have been working. we have got to get back together, work through some of these problems that will still be there. i've relationships with everybody in the conference and work through a lot of different roles. and coalitions to do big things, small things. people i don't want to focus on internal fights but look at the big things we have found that we have to keep fighting for. we passed a major security build, energy bill and sitting in the senate doing nothing because this and it does not want to address this here a day when speaker police challenge president biden to sit down and start talking about the prices t the border that everybody in america knows is a major, majort want to solve for the senate does not want to solve. democratic mayors are talking about this problem. we need to start fixing it and not just talk about it.

we have passed bills through the house. this and it does not want to confront. we passed government funding over 70%, and we have to do that work in the house. but they need to do their work too appeared as much as everybody wants to talk about te house, the senate and the president are not doing because those problems need to be addressed by all of us. so we will come together as a house. they are scared to death, by the way, i was coming in the house my guy the speaker to go and get in this fight because once we are back in the fight, the country is already there ready to solve these problems. they are the ones struggling every day. we need to go back to fighting for. the president has got to be in this fight too, so does the senate peer that is where we need to go and start battling. >> steve: i heard from members of congress who got a phone call from newt talking about unity bringing it all back together but also about fund-raising. because in the house nobody has raised more money than other members other than kevin mccarthy than you. i was looking at i think punch

bowl news this morning. in the last ten years, you have raised $170 million for republicans. and i think jim jordan, if i read it right, south of $40 million. so you are the man standing right now, the leader. so if people want a fund-raiser, you are the guy. >> looked, there is a lot of things you have to do speaker. number one, hold the majority but continue to go one more seat. we need to battle across the country. we have members in tough districts like joe biden but then in districts we didn't win last year that we can win next year. it takes a lot of money to do that too but it also takes a strong message. it takes the ability to go out and fight and let people know what the fight is about and fighting for those families who are struggling who sent us to battle for them. we have to get our internal house back and we will do that. we will do that wednesday. we have to go back and let people know the fight in the sun and the white house, they don't

want to engage in this fight. we will force them to. we have to to get the border under control and the spending under control. lower cost for families. those don't go away. i will be in that fight at the next g.o.p. >> brian: speaking of fights, i know you had a personal fight and diagnosed with multiple myea and going through treatment right now. i have heard people say, maybe he's not healthy enough? we had a conversation during commercial proceeding this and it sounds like your treatment is going well. >> thank god they caught it early. i have doctors that are the best in the world. they put me on the drugs quickly to fight cancer. there are other forms of cancer, too. there are other treatments available and we got it aggressively. my doctors at lutheran said, it is going phenomenally well and ready to go back to work and fight. if the doctors did not sign off my would not do this. >> steve: they declared you okay. >> they said you are ready to go

back in the fight. i have been through tougher fights. you sell me in the hospital, i almost didn't make it through 2017 after the shooting. by the way, president trump was right there lifting my family up in the louis times. nobody sees that side of him. my lowest point in 2017. i'm going to fight and proven a lot of battles and god has given me a lot of strength. i have asked god for a lot and he delivered appear they there were families that have struggled every day. people today from opioids because of the open southern border. the president doesn't want to confront that challenge. we as republicans do. we passed bills to do it. that action needs to happen in the white house and the senate. we need to continue fighting in the house to go and fight for the things that pass through the house already and keep passing more bills to put pressure in the places where it is not. we need to come together first. i get that. we are working through that. the last few days in the days ahead. i will continue to have those

conversations. the conversations are going well. we have to come together though. and then come of the other folks in washington need to confront the same problems we are confronting and not talk about t do it. we will lay out a plan and be very aggressive peer that is why i'm running for speaker and getting wide support at the conference. but we have a lot of work to do. i'm ready to do this job. i have the background to do this job. but there is a lot of people struggling in this country that are counting on us. we have to go back to work for them. that is where the members have been in these conversations. >> steve: steve scalise, majority leader, thank you for joining us live. >> thank you, steve. >> steve: we had jim jordan on the program yesterday. by the way, and exclusive interview with house speaker candidates, jordan, kim kern, steve scalise on monday on "special report." it is 8:06 new york city moving on, everybody is on the couch

and let's start with another topic, brian. we went migrants in an attempt to curb the search of illegal crossings. speak to the white house battling "backlash" with border wall construction. the president said they had no choice. >> lawrence: live at the white house with the latest. >> good morning, guys as a candidate joe biden of doubt he would not allow one border wall to be constructed but now the white house says he will be building 20 miles. >> one question on the border wall, the border wall money was appropriate for the border wall. i tried to get them to re-appropriate that money. they didn't appear they wouldn't. in the meantime, there has been the wall and they have to use the money for what they appropriated it for. i can't stop it. >> many images like this the southern border changed illegal immigration in washington and the american people but critics say the southern border looks like commander defense last

night and i'm not talking about -- aoc disagrees with the president reversal posting, "the biden administration was not required to expand construction of the southern border wall and certainly not required to weigh several environmental laws to expedite the building. the president has to take responsibility for his decision and reverse the course. the dhs chief said congress is to blame not the white house. mayorkas accused of backtracking hours after immediately to build those 20 miles of border wall. >> from day one, this administration has been cleared a border wall is not the answer. the construction project reported today is appropriated, funded during the prior administration in 2019 and the law requires the government to use these funds for this pur purpose. speak with the biden administration scrap many loads on the books coming from the trump administration from day one, of course.

white house press secretary rushed to dependence, absolutely false. in fact, congress was forced to do this under 2019 the law. in fact, we called on congress to cancel these funds and they didn't. we follow the rule of law. congress needs to stop the border solutions the president proposed. of course, in the past, the white house has pushed back on the laws and rulings it didn't want to follow and we have not seen that yet in this case. of course, we look at the abortion fights, student loans and the white house push back on those. >> lucas did you plan to make the commander of the dog joke? >> not until i woke up this morning. holy smokes. [laughter] >> ainsley: brushing his teeth. that is a joke and i will deliver at. >> brian: thank you, lucas. chicago residents we saw what was happening. the same thing that happened here when it comes to illegal immigrants pure the problem at the border and now major cities. it is unbelievable but they have 50 buses over the next two

weeks, 25 more on the way. the mayor has gone down to the border because they have no place to put them. they left in texas and mexico, california. are you kidding me question if you can't handle 15,000. we get 7,000 a week but still, what they are doing no place to put it and we will not put it in facilities but soft sided with ttense and not compatible with chicago winter. and they will start putting them in in new york on field spirits before brian, the last few years, the media as well as democrats playing identity politics and just white folks, they don't want to change america and they don't want these immigrants to come here. all of a sudden all of the migrants going to the blue cities, the minorities are there. the folks of chicago say wait a minute, there is homelessness all over and crime. we do live paycheck to paycheck and you bring the migrants here.

we will not be at the bottom and just be scraps. this is a media from chicago residents letting it rip. >> that is the solution. >> we got violence. we have poverty. we already have scraps. why do we always have to be at the bottom of the barrel? i want justice, you understand? you are selling us out! [chanting] >> that is what they need to come of the publicity so people start talking about it. a lot of those people didn't realize there was a problem on the southern border until the southern border came to chicago. >> ainsley: i do not think mayor johnson in chicago ever considered how much "backlash" he would see from minority communities who are saying exactly that. the reason this meeting took place is because of what brian was saying, they are taking over

this park in chicago. it is home to youthful football sports teams. those kids are getting kicked out. so, we just spoke to a former youth football coach who organized that meeting. it was reported there were 600 people in the meeting. he said, there were 600 people waiting outside as well. so if there is any sort of silver lining, the community you see here is rallying around these kids. and you cannot ignore 1200 voices all saying the same th thing. >> brian: the number one issue for this election season. it is so pervasive and so consuming. it affects everybody. eric adams decided to go down to ecuador, panama and mexico city first. he is getting "backlash." the taxpayers are saying, "excuse me, go to the white house and go talk to them." i'm torn but i like the fact

that the other problem is to come with the same courage and calling you out. he does call them out, but then he quickly backtracks. i listen to a sound bite before i came on he said i'm for an open border and want to decompress the pressure at the border. do you understand that is exactly the type of rhetoric that gets to venezuela, ecuador a nomadic guatemala and china? >> lawrence: these countries all day. he has no authority. he has a mayor of new york city, great city, much powerful city but not the president of the united states. >> ainsley: don't come here! they may sway with one or two but i do think it is a good thing he's going down to the border. >> brian: if he listens. my people are telling me i'm coming to america because joe biden said this is the moment. that is why they walked across

biden/harris t-shirts the first day. i hope he listens where the genesis comes from. >> steve: let's go to chicago. we are talking about the mirror chicago and dallas mayor eric johnson. a very popular down there. he was reelected with 90.7%. speed to wow! >> steve: which is extraordinary. politics has changed not just in the united states but texas as well which is part of the united states. in particular, this may or is not part of the defund the police. he has lowered taxes. he's trying to make law and order a priority. so it was announced a couple of weeks ago, he is becoming a republican. you know who hates that? the dnc. the dnc chair so steamed that this one mayor down aunt alice said, my party left me and i'm going to the other one. here he is. >> we have seen a rash from a

recent rash. and i'm you all saw the news in dallas. democrat elected by his constituents to serve as a democrat for the policies. that he completely out of the blue flipped on the other side. he ain't got my vote. >> lawrence: so he didn't pick up and call the mayor of dallas. we went down there for an exclusive interview, the first on-camera interview for the mayor. this is what he had to say, watch. >> excuse me, mayor, the great city of dallas, my friend, mayor johnson. [applause] >> you made this big decision. you switched parties. i guess the question is, why? speak with the reality is, there is a really big gap at this point in time between who i am,t

is important to me, what i am about and what the right party is and what is important to them and what that's about peer that has really come to a head as i have become mayor. very soon after the whole defund the police nonsense started, activists showed up at my house trying to intentionally scare my family, scare me in changing my clear position that we were not going to do that in dallas peer that was an eye-opener in terms of this party is really serious about protecting the criminal element over the law-abiding folks. and they weren't really going to change periods before i remember going around the country calling all of these different and i remember they tried to shut down in dallas. you were still with the cops when a lot of democratic mayors were anti-cup at the moment. are you still firm? why? >> i am a person of the people. i'm one of the people that grew up in this place and i know with

those people want. they told me what they want. they want to live in same neighborhood. they don't want the police to leave. they want more police. they want the police to be trained well here they want to be practitioners of community police and they want them there. they did not want the police department defunded. i felt like i could actually be a true law and order, fiscally responsible democrat i would have done that. i tried that. i have living proof that you end on a island isolated and that pretty if you do that. >> lawrence: you are not just a mayor and the top ten major city that is now republican. and you are a black man. i guess the elephant in the room is, how is the community responding to their guy now being a republican? >> i actually believe in time, they will start to ask

themselves, "why are we still democrats?" we trust him and he's never let us down. i believe this will actually be a beginning in dallas of black folk saying we need to give the republican party a look, especially today. >> lawrence: what is the message to those out here teetering? if they don't know they can cross over to the republican party. >> get past the sound bites and get past the personality and be honest with yourself what is important to you. >> lawrence: 2024, a lot of candidates in the race. donald trump seems to be the one leading the pack right now. do you plan on weighing in at any point? >> well i don't plan on divorcing him and i've been clear about that peer that has been my policies. i declined endorsing joe biden. when he was running for president. i listen to the candidates names that come to dallas, senator scott, he will sit down with him.

>> lawrence: every republican wants to be on the desk do you want to run for governor? what is it? >> that is the most common question, what is next? who are you running for next? i have one answer for you, nothing. i'm not running for anything. i will be the mayor for dallas and then i'm done running an office. here is how i want to get off of the list. we need more fiscal conservatives and law and order people who have conservative principles. basically, republican principles running for office particularly for mayor. we need more republican mayors. we can afford to let the cities look the way they look right now from san francisco to chicago to philadelphia to d.c. the news is filled everyday with all of this out-of-control lawless behavior. it is because, again, it is a culture of lawlessness. it is lax das on the democratic side and local leaders, mayors on the side that

created this environment. if you look at our governance, fiscal conservative principles, real law enforcement, pro-public safety principles. i am just stating that is the kind of republican i want to be, and we need more of it. >> lawrence: last thing i will say when you look at republicans, they have republican conservative judges. they have got conservative governors, but there has not been a plan to target local d.a.s and local mirrors. and i think him coming to the party to say, "i will lead this effort is really filling the board. >> brian: he is very popular. senator tim scott was quick to go down there and said it is important, also soap you're the best thing tim scott was when president obama attacked him. i thought that was a good idea to go down there and say i have company. hopefully this is the beginning. >> ainsley: we were talking about him and the break. we commented how young he is.

you said it was for dora. and he announced he was switching parties in this great "wall street journal" op-ed and if you haven't read you should. >> steve: we will talk about this race for speaker. this is a rough week for republicans in congress pure there was a coup on capitol hill. in the last couple of hours 12:15 this morning, donald trump came out on true social and essentially threw his weight behind jim jordan. he posted among other things the former president congressman jim jordan has won and making a successful journey to d.c., representing fourth district of ohio. he will be a great speaker of the house and my complete and total endorsement. now, the key though, he is right now you have ski steve scalise on the other side and others as well. but 45 members of congress on the republican side who will not vote for anybody until they

change the mtv, the motion to vacate. so, with a block of 45, they have got to do something about that or they are not going anywhere. >> ainsley: what is going to happen next week? this vote is wednesday. former president trump is considering possibly going to capitol hill on tuesday to try to unite the party. you had this endorsement yesterday. congressman steve scalise is so beloved in the party as well. it is definitely still a party divided around two very, very popular republicans. >> brian: let's listen. speak with folks have been talking to other folks on the outside to bring to this race. there is a lot of interest in the race but at the end of the day commit is a lot of one-on-one conversations over the last few days i have been having with my colleagues. they have a lot of introspection how to get things on track and the poems we have internally. they don't go away with a new speaker but we will question how to get things back on track. the reason i have been able to build a strong basis for over

these last few days is because i've got a long proven record and somebody knows how to unify the republicans to fight for the battles that matter the for those folks who gave us the majority. >> brian: has a go to battle it out, two high profile names do they divide someone has to come in as a unifier? we will agree to disagree and put this folks up there. how many rounds until someone pecks out even if they are friendly? >> kevin mccarthy has no one against him and nobody running against him but just people against him. we see how long it takes and also congressman and the criticism they have gotten has a party, the house has no business. it is virtually impossible now for them to actually hit that november date for the budget and the appropriations bill. nothing is going on. i think these two mature guys understand what is at stake. maybe they will still be friendly at the end of it but right now jerry maguire. working the phones to get as

many endorsements as possible. >> lawrence: i think it is important the freedom of the caucus jim jordan and paul ryan, john boehner, but these later days as we took on oversight committee, he's been working with more of the establishment to try to bring the more conservative way, moderate wing together. we had an interview with him and congressman you said over and over the last two terms when i asked you to run for speaker and you said, "no, i don't want the job, no i don't want the job." this is what he had to say in the interview yesterday. >> steve scalise is a friend of mine. kevin, steve, and i came into the same congress. steve is an american hero, but again i think i'm better equipped to unite the congress, bring the conservatives along that i'm close to with the modern tech. jeff van drew, jeff van drew is supporting me. jeff van drew was a democrat five years ago. switched parties and now he is supporting me. i think we can do that. that is what we have to do.

so that we can get to the real goal, which is those things we told the american people we were going to do for them. >> brian: ultimately it comes to that thing again, somebody's got to get to -- the question is who will it be? stephen's goalies has a dozen and so does jim jordan. here are people suggesting maybe donald trump and donald trump himself said maybe i come in for 30 days, just until things blow over. highly unlikely because it would be hard for him to also get to 218. >> brian: we will see how many candidates on the floor with the exclusive joint interview with everybody that wants to be speaker including jim jordan, kevin hearne, oklahoma steve scalise or at least those threes hand that could be more. i originally heard will be stephani but i have not seen her name on the list sense and i don't see any women. >> ainsley: i don't think kevin o'hearn officially said he was running.

but with the endorsement from former president trump, we will see if that changes. >> brian: i know something that will steal your thunder. >> ainsley: that is right. i have exciting news, facial cooking with friends cookbook his coming out next week october 10th. on tuesday. "cooking with friends" of course, one of these classic "fox & friends" segments that you have been doing for years with an anchor that comes on the show and everybody cooks with them and they share a favorite family meals. this is all of these recipes throughout the year. steve, you have your recipe in it and your artichoke pie as well. so we are going to eat next week and lawrence you are all over the book almost in every picture. >> lawrence: there is a lot of pictures in the book. >> ainsley: there is a lot of pictures in the book and i was on maternity leave at the time. >> brian: if you are a fan of "fox & friends" and watching, this is a great plan book. it brings back all those fun

times you had when "cooking with friends." >> ainsley: so true, i'm by no means an expert chef and i've learned a lot reading steve's cookbook. pick up a copy of steve's as well. but i'm so proud of how the cookbook turned out. it is truly beautiful and all of the pictures are glossy and we get to learn a little bit about everybody and their home life and personality as well. and these are stories they told themselves. before you get to the recipe, you get a little background story about everybody's recipe. >> because you are a journalist and want to get the untold story. >> ainsley: that is right. thank you. you can preorder at fox news books.com. it is out on tuesday. >> steve: congratulations. >> brian: meanwhile coming up straight-ahead two-time failed president hillary clinton said this. >> you could put half of trump

supporter's into what i call the basket of deplorables. >> brian: well, she's got a new maga attack. ♪ ♪ it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. heart failure can change the structure of your heart, so it may not work as well. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. and with a healthier heart, you can keep on doing what you love. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren,

♪ ♪ >> ainsley: remember when hillary clinton said this about trump supporter's? >> you could put half of trump supporter's into what i call that the basket of deplorables. [laughter] right? [applause] the racist, sexist, homophobic, jenna phobic. islamaphobic, you name it.

>> steve: fast forward eight years and hillary still doesn't like trump supporter's. >> so many of those extremists, those maga extremists take their marching orders from donald trump who has no credibility left by any measure. he is only in it for himself. he is now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions. when do they break with him? because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members. karine jean-pierre fox news contributor tire risk. >> this is why you don't interview the quarterback, just don't do it. just bitter because the marching orders? what are the maga doing? how many stories do we see maga cold building, robbing, looting

and behaving badly? where are these evil magas? we just don't see it. now on the left extremists we see all kinds of behavior so maybe she needs to look inside herself and it shouldn't be the maga people she's mad at but she should be mad at women, independence. she should be mad at democrats, you know what, i will stay home. it wasn't the magas is half of the country maga? where is this bad behavior? the cult has to have bad behavior to be a cold. so we will just wait. maybe she knows something we don't know or haven't seen yet. you are supposed to drink your bitter tea alone. >> is this why trump is rising outside of his policies? people get defensive and say those on the fence with trump are being marginalized and ridiculed? you want a part of me, i'm going back. >> because it is hillary and no

one likes her. no one. she was the most unlikable candidate in the history of president spirit and that is saying a lot. manuk grigoryan biden. >> he is number two. when biden says something, do they say, what did he say? >> steve: you know, tyrus, people were reluctant to talk to pollsters. but fast-forward eight years later and essentially they are sating if you like him, you are in a cult. do you really want to be in a cult? >> if the cult hillary doesn't like, yes, i'm in. what do i need? is there a have a? i will get one. this is ridiculous. when the losing side she is an unlikable person and she will say anything to get attention, but here's the thing. it has changed. people in america no longer listen to that stuff. that is why i didn't vote for you. >> exactly. >> that is why we have a high

inflation. >> ainsley: it is reluctant because when she called republicans a basket of deplorables, it energized them to the point of no return. she says they need to be deprogrammed and part of the country as a part of a cult. >> it is like someone interviewing your ex about you. it's not going to be nice. >> steve: the conspiracy aunt '80s and now we have deplorables. lastly with trump, what do you think this trial, the civil trial that is going on in new york and it looks pure politics, how do you think that is resonating with america? you travel all around. >> it is the same thing. it is shocking. you sit there with your mouth open watching boeing, what exactly did he do it again? and when you see what the judge is doing and the air accounts, and arrogance and the judges when i watch court. you didn't even see that in

"people's court." that type of behavior, it is a foregone conclusion. i think we are waiting pure the one thing i thought was great, president trump didn't have to e there. at least he is there sitting down staring his accuser right in the face. that is resonating with the american people. he is facing it. we can see the writing on the wall. >> steve: okay, he might be fined, but you take away the business? is that fair? >> they said his home is worth $8 million. okay. >> ainsley: thank you very much. >> always a pleasure. good seeing you. >> ainsley: coming up secretary mayorkas backtracking his initial call for immediate need for a border wall. watch this. >> from day one, this administration has made clear a border wall is not the answer. >> ainsley: it's not the only democrat flip-flopping on the border. we will break it down coming up next.

>> steve: all right, back with fox business for september jobs report just released. it shows the u.s. adding 336,000 jobs. that is a big number, 166,000 more than economists were expecting. the unemployment rate now at 3.8%, which is the same as

let's break down a few. let's first start off with the federal government. this was the deal were president biden took over. i'm going to stop building the wall. i'm going to stop with these policies that they felt were brutal and not fair for people who wanted to come here. what is the result, lawrence? >> lawrence: for the month of september 11th, 260,000 encounters at the border. that does not even include the got a ways. you look at the total overall since biden took office, 6.3 million. >> brian: last year in office, 400,000 for the year and trump thought that was bad. so, that is the federal government. let's move on and talk about locally in major cities. for example, as we move on, change to the border, new york city. here is new york city, new york, city, arguably outside of the border cities, lawrence has god in the might cotton it worse than anybody. the buses at the beginning, the mayor was greeting them but now

not so happy. >> lawrence: he was not greeting but the governor of texas said come up we have a big problem here even though sanctuary city and so send migrants to the city of new york. it has been 122,000 migrants there. brian, estimated amount of $5 billion. >> brian: 210 facilities and three meals a day they get their laundry done. made surface at every hotel and people look around and say, how are they paying for this? they are not. how are we paying for this? $5 billion and still counting. they tried to get a meeting with the president at united nations. he would not come and meet with them or come aloud to meet with the president. >> lawrence: all over the world now trying to deal with the root cause with kamala harris on what to do with that when she was named the border czar. >> brian: karen bass became rule of law in los angeles. the governor of los angeles,

the rio grande valley pass get $7,000 a week. >> lawrence: people across the country said democrats broke it and it is up to them to fix it. >> brian: absolutely. as we move ahead immigration will not leave our minds. superstar natalie grant joins us and the studios and some say right in front of us for a live performance of her brand-new album. >> lawrence: but let's check in with hammer time, bill hemmer at the top of the hour. >> happy friday to both of you. the president chicago residents right now. they have him in crosshairs and vote democrats, giving the leaders a mouth full. you will hear from a few of them in a matter of minutes. who will be the next republican leader? a big announcement from president trump. we have breaking news on the economy, look out tough lending ahead. we will explain all of that. there is a college swim team in full revolt. they do not want a transgender male in the same pool.
